IS RYAN’S GIGG COMING TO AN END?

WITH Ryan Giggs unsure about whether to continue playing into next season, William Hill are offering 4/9 that he will still be a United player on the first day of season 2011/12 – and 13/8 that he will not.
‘The day Ryan hangs up his boots will be a sad one even for those who don’t support United – but we think there is a pretty good chance that he will carry on for at least one more season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Following John Toshack’s resignation as Wales manager, Kenny Jackett is the favourite to take over. The Millwall boss priced at 5/2 with William Hill, who make Brian Flynn and Chris Coleman their 3/1 joint second favourites. Derby County midfielder Robbie Savage is an outside bet at 66/1 to get the job.

The new manager is facing an uphill challenge to get Wales to the European Championships with them priced at 20/1 to qualify for the tournament and 40/1 to win the group.

“It was no secret that Toshack was about to step down, so the Welsh FA are likely to have already formulated a shortlist. The odds would suggest that Kenny Jackett is at the top of this list,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Wales Manager Odds:

5/2 Kenny Jackett; 3/1 Brian Flynn; 3/1 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 6/1 Ryan Giggs; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders; 12/1 John Hartson; 14/1 Tony Pulis; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 18/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 BAR

Wales To Qualify: 20/1

YOU BET JACKETT SUITS WALES JOB

MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett has been backed from 20/1 to 5/2 favourite with William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales after a flurry of bets of up to £200 (struck at 8/1) a time. ‘Some substantial bets in Wales and Worcester, on what has been a quiet market thus far have sent Jackett’s odds tumbling – it wouldn’t suit us if he were to pocket the job – the stakes weren’t just buttons, we now face a five figure payout after this off the cuff gamble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Jackett has leap-frogged Chris Coleman and initial favourite Ryan Giggs in the betting.

WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT WALES MANAGER

Kenny Jackett – 5/2…..Chris Coleman, Brian Flynn – 3/1……Ryan Giggs,Mark Hughes, – 6/1….Gary Speed – 9/1….Martin O’Neill…16/1.

Support For Swiss To Beat England As Hartson Becomes Wales Boss Contender

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

SWISS BACKED TO ROLL OVER ENGLAND

William Hill say punters are placing bigger bets on Switzerland than England to win their Euro qualifier – ‘We have taken bets of 1500 euros and £1200 for the Swiss at 7/2, along with scores of other, smaller bets, while the support for England consists pretty much just of the two £1100 bets we have taken for them at 5/6 – for once, and it is exceedingly rare – we face a much higher liability for England’s opponents and as our book stands pre-kick off the Swiss are likely to be a six figure loser for us, thus enabling us to support England for once – unless there is a late rush of support.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill – 7/2 Switzerland; 12/5 draw; England 5/6.

HARTSON FOR WALES?

JOHN Hartson has declared himself a contender for the job of Wales manager, and William Hill now make the fomer Luton Town striker 12/1 seventh favourite for the job, for which Ryan Giggs is 11/4 favourite with Hills also offering 3/1 Brian Flynn; 7/2 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders. ‘There has been no substantial support for anyone as yet which suggests that noone has yet been directly approached about the role’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

RYAN GIGGS has been installed as 11/4 favourite by William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales. ‘Giggs would appear to be a popular choice to take over, but a lack of experience and the fact that he is still playing well may mean that the opportunity will come a little too early for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Will it be fourth straight winner for United?
WAYNE HEADS PFA PLAYER OF YEAR MARKET

WILLIAM HILL have installed Wayne Rooney as 5/2 favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year Award. ‘Wayne’s main rivals, Cesc Fabregas and Didier Drogba may suffer for games missed for differing reasons, and with the World Cup looming up it would certainly be a boost for England if one of their players could win the award’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘However, with the award being won by a Man U player for the past three seasons that could work against Wayne’

Ryan Kicks Butt…………….on

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

RYAN KICKS BUTT – ON…….. AND PUNTER WHO BET £24,000 ON JENSON
ONE William Hill punter lost over £24,500 and another £5000 in bets on odds on favourite Jenson Button who became the fourth consecutive beaten favourite, as Ryan Giggs, originally a 100/1 shot, won the BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award.
‘There was a massive gamble on Ryan Giggs winning which saw his odds slashed from 100/1 to 5/2 second favourite – and cost bookies a small fortune’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Fortunately for us, we took some hefty bets for Button – one of our clients from Gloucester staked £24,560 on him, and another had £5000, which helped to soften the blow of Ryan’s win’
ANDY MURRAY has already been backed from 6/1 to 4/1 clear favourite with Hills to win the Award in 2010. ‘If England even go close to winning the World Cup it will almost certainly be a footballer who wins the Award next year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, if they produce their usual quarter-final exit the Award will be wide open.’
WILLIAM HILL…..2010 BBC TV SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR AWARD….4/1 Andy Murray; 6/1 Lewis Hamilton; 6/1 Wayne Rooney; 10/1 David Beckham; 10/1 Jenson Button; 12/1 David Haye; 12/1 John Terry; 14/1 Steven Gerrard; 20/1 Amir Khan; Jermain Defoe; Frank Lampard; 25/1 Theo Walcott; 25/1 Mark Cavendish; Rory McIlroy; Lee Westwood; 33/1 Michael Owen; 33/1 Bradley Wiggins; 50/1 Colin Montgomerie.
